Mint Brownies

Step 1

For Brownies: Melt butter and chocolate together (or just butter if using cocoa). Combine with remaining ingredients. Bake in a greased and floured 8x8 pan (or equivalent) at 350F (180C) for 25 minutes or until done. Let cool.

Step 2

While brownies are cooling, beat all the ingredients for layer 1 together until creamy. Spread on slightly warm brownies. Chill 1 hour.

Step 3

Melt together in microwave (or over low heat) for 45 seconds. Stir well. Heat for 10-15 seconds at a time and stir. You can easily stir out lumps rather than overheat the chocolate. Pour over icing layer and spread evenly. Chill again for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Take pan out of fridge and cut into squares before top chocolate layer is TOO hard. This will make it where the chocolate doesn't crack as you try to cut it. Go ahead and place in airtight container to store. Allow to finish chilling in fridge--they are so good cold!

Step 4

Notes: I actually have only ever used unsweetened chocolate squares for this recipe once. I nearly ALWAYS use the standard substitute of 3 Tbs cocoa + 1 Tbs oil = 1 oz unsweetened chocolate. This recipe doubles very easily to fit a 9x13 pan if you are needing a lot!

Step 5

Variation: Consider making your icing layer white or red and sprinkling the top with crushed candy canes!
